Along with sexually transmitted diseases comes a stigma that cannot be denied. Sad to say, the society is quite vicious when it comes to this subject and would most likely to ridicule someone having Chlamydia, gonorrhea, or likes of it. But for some reasons, this stigma was not intended to ruin other people’s lives; because in the first place, one would never acquire such sexual disease if precautions were strictly followed in the first place. Yes, the humiliation that sufferers get from judgmental eyes can dig a hole into their self-esteem, which can affect the way they deal with life in general. But then again, this also serves as a call to responsibility. The stain is already there and you cannot do anything about it other than accepting the fact and moving on with your life.

Usually, when people are diagnosed of having any sexually transmitted disease, they will automatically feel embarrassed about themselves. They would feel a tinge of guilt and sadness that calls for a shoulder of a friend to cry on and yet they are afraid of spilling it out. There are even some who would think that God is punishing them for engaging into a forbidden sexual activity; forbidden means having sex outside marriage or engaging into casual sex. Because of this, they are succumbed into deep depression and feel sorry about themselves thinking that no one will ever go out on a date with them ever again. That’s where you’re wrong. You see, you can always change the course of the situation by standing up and doing something to change things. Learn from your mistakes by starting to practice safe sex; buy protection from a local sex shop near you like condoms. Don’t go sleeping with someone you barely know just because you’re too drunk to care. As an adult, it is your responsibility to protect yourself from temptations that will bring you to danger. Always keep your head up high.

The fact is, you cannot stop the people from raising their eye brows while looking at you from head to foot, but there is always something that you can do to preserve your humanity and earn the respect that you deserve. It doesn’t mean that just because you are infected with an embarrassing disease, you’d just stay in your room forever until you die. The key here is to understand and accept your condition with a light heart. Okay you have Syphilis, so what? Your life doesn’t end there. Let the whole world know that you are still human and fragile. Value yourself so that people will respect you. Just continue being who you are, but minus the unprotected sex of course.
